Stop, drop, and roll. When there's a fire in the building, make sure you are able to safely evacuate.

"Credit Suisse has also been in talks with investors to raise capital with various scenarios in mind, Reuters said, citing people familiar with the matter as saying it includes a chance that the bank may “largely” exit the U.S. market".

It's either gonna spin off and sell the US IB advisory arm or completely disband the US practice. I would start looking for the exits, even if you have to go down in prestige. Should be a fun time in the office for CS bankers tomorrow. Keep us updated on any new juicy details

 

Incoming analyst but yeah I used to be an intern. Is that a problem? Do you disagree with what I said? If so, attack the ideas and point out where I'm wrong. This forum is so annoying when everyone relies on ad hominem attacks and just tries to discredit everything someone says if they're an intern or first year analyst.

Sure thing. You’ve spent roughly 60 days in banking and are giving condescending know-it-all career advice to people with dramatically more experience. The situation is unclear. Anyone purporting to have sage advice is full of it, especially a snot-nosed 21 year old with a fresh full time offer telling people worried for their livelihoods to “stop, drop and roll”

 

Curious how much time people realistically have to lateral? Are incoming FTs ok if they plan to leave within ~6 months?
